Getting Back to Falling Stars

Hi folks! Now that all the excitement of the wedding has died down, and my mother-in-law is safe back in Yemen, I've gotten back to stitching on my WIP, La-D-Da's Falling Star. Here's where I am so far:

I've stitched in the final star on this side, and started the umbrella. I'm having so much fun with this project - the NPI silks are lovely to work with!

I'm looking forward to things calming down around here. I have so much to catch up on! I've got this WIP to put more stitching in, and I've got two gorgeous balls of yarn just staring at me from their basket. Can't wait to get my knitting needles out!

Stitching Friends

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859
